FOOD FOREST COURSE

AGRO-ECONOMY Lesson 8.2 


PESTS - Perennial plants

 

These plants are often used in permaculture design, as they do not need to be planted every year and therefore require less maintenance and fertilisers.  They are especially important in the outer zones and in layered systems.  Some vegetables from the tropics may become annuals in the sub-tropics.

Pest control species

These plants provide adult predator insects with a pollen supply year-round when they flower.  The main plant families are: Asteraceae (Daisy); Apiaceae (Carrot); Fabaceae (Pea); Brassicaceae (Cabbage)

Examples of these are:

Red, white and strawberry clover, Carrot, White alyssum, Dill, Fennel, Marigold, Queen Ann’s lace, Cosmos, Lucerne, Yarrow, Dandelion, Tansy, Broccoli, Baby’s breath (gypsophila), Daikon, Buckwheat, Coriander.

Text from the roots, Elisabeth Ferkonia (Aus.) PDC studied with Bill Mollison.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

Image
  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests ...
